We covered section 4.4. If B = {b1..bn} is a basis of R^n and x is in R^n then x = P_B [x]_B which means that P_B sends the coordinate-vector-of-x to x. That also means that (P_B)^(-1) sends x to its coordinate-vector. We also covered section 4.5 but this was mostly material we have seen before. In general, these three things are not equivalent: * lin. indep. * basis * spanning set However, if S is a set with dim(V) elements of V, and if dim(V) < infinity then the above three statements become equivalent. That can help you to take short-cuts. In section 4.6 we learned that if you row-reduce a matrix A then the following things stay the same: rank dim(ColumnSpace) (that's equal to the rank) RowSpace So under row-reduction, the RowSpace stays the same, the ColumnSpace can change but its dimension stays the same. Moreover, both the RowSpace and the ColumnSpace have the same dimension, their dimension equals the rank. In Section 4.7 we discussed the change-of-basis matrix. I put one exercise on the board. Re-read all these sections. Turn in questions: Section 4.4. Ex 10, 14, 28. Read through the questions, especially the True/False questions (ask about them if you see one that's not clear). Section 4.5. Ex 4, 8, 14. Again, read the section and the questions including the True/False questions. Section 4.6. Ex 2 (no computation, RREF is already given). Observe that Ex 5-16 are all variations on Theorem 14. Read the True/False questions (Ex 17,...) to test your understanding. Section 4.7. Ex 2. One more comment on section 4.7: at the end of page 243 you see a formula to compute the change-of-basis matrix. But note that this formula is only for bases of R^n. For any vector space other than R^n you'll need to use formula (5) in Theorem 15.
